LEAKED MAP OF REDUCTION OF FINNISH MUNICIPALITIES, SHOWS BRUSSEL’S CORRUPTIVE INFLUENCE…….

Ladies and gentlemen, the more society becomes centralized, the less free it becomes. Centralization, no matter how its spun (cost cutting measures, wanting to provide better services through the supposed streamlining of government etc.) unequivocally removes representational democracy further away from you, the citizen.

Removing local officials who are more apt to hear your requests and understand your problems, and most importantly, be attentive to them -and replace them with distant uninterested politicians with a constituency multiplied by a hundred or even a thousand- is an act of tyranny. The reason why I mention this domestic Finnish situation, is to show you the disconnect politicians have with the concept of real liberty, coupled with the utopian plans they want and insist on creating.

I have spoken with many Finnish politicians over the years, most recently during the last elections for the Finnish parliament in 2010. The person interviewed in the article below, Henna Virkunnen, (Nat.Coalition/faux conservatives) was one of these politicians I engaged in a conversation.

To make a long story short, I asked Virkkunen for a rough estimate of the percentage of legislation that’s passed yearly in our domestic (Finnish) parliament, that actually originates in Brussels. She was shocked/surprised by the question, and perhaps knew of what was coming next. She sheepishly, but politely admitted that it was around 70% of the entire amount of legislation approved by Finnish lawmakers.

I then asked her is she knew any of the names of those who promoted the legislation that received the Finnish stamp of approval, just who exactly are these people who work in these ‘working committees’ promoting these legislations to the EU parliament? She answered honestly that she didn’t know a single name. I then asked her if this was in her opinion, a proper, responsive, representational democracy? She responded with a no, but quickly added that “we’re working on it to make it more responsive, more democratic”.

You see folks, these statists, whether they’re socialists or faux conservatives -like the Social Democrats or National Coalition- reject liberty, they want to grab more power for themselves/the state at the expense of the liberty of each and every Finnish citizen, who in my opinion, stopped being citizens long ago and became subjects when the state opted for the welfare system, but now even more so under the tyrannical yoke of the Brussels bureaucrats.

More and more you see the same mentality in Brussels, at work here in Finland, as its corruptive influence seeps into every sector of Finnish society. The need to centralize is the life blood of the EU, it permeates through every organ. The need to federalize the union, to heavily regulate it, and remove voter control from the levers of power is the prime motivation of all these technocrats, and you can see the exact same thinking being implemented on the domestic level in Finland, and it’s frightening.

Leaked map reveals plans to reduce number of municipalities to about 70

The publication late last week by the news magazine Suomen Kuvalehti of a map proposing that the number of municipalities in Finland should be reduced from 336 to about 70 has led to a flurry of explanations, e-mails, and stonewalling.

The map is based on a plan being drawn up by a group of civil servants set up by Minister for Public Administration and Local Government Henna Virkkunen (Nat. Coalition Party). The plan was originally to have been made public in February.

Virkkunen has initially refused to comment on details of the map.

“The work of the working group is not complete. It is working independently”, Virkkunen said.

The head of the working group, Päivi Laajala, director-general of the municipal affairs department of the Ministry of Finance, downplayed the significance of the map.

“I am very disappointed that such a leak took place. This is not a proposal of the working group”, she said to Helsingin Sanomat.

Funny. We had a similar reduction of the number of municipalities in Denmark, without much in the way of public support or demand for the reform. It just sortof happened because our politicians found it a Good Idea.

I’ve been somewhat involved in budget negotiations in my local municipality (Aarhus, Denmark), and withdrew in disgust. The two main reasons being:

1) In a large municipality, the straight city council members working half time at best have a hard time challenging the civil servants working full time. The larger the municipality gets, the weaker the control of the voters becomes.

2) Most of the municipal budget is not even under municipal control! Even if all city council members and all civil servants agreed, there could be no cutting back of expenses, because they are ordered by the State. I am, of course, referring to the so-called ‘social’ benefits, welfare payments where the State decides on the rates, the municipalities have to come up with the money, not even having the chance to do a ‘haircut’ of, say, 1-2 % on the amounts. That leaves the coffers empty, and leave the city council with no other choice than doing hard cutting in schools, road maintainence and other expenditures very visible to the citizen.

As for the 70 % of legislation being rubberstamped right out of the EU, that is a lower figure than I’ve heard quoted for other countries. Perhaps the Finnish parliament is still quite active creating new laws for the Finnish people?

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
